Hello,

I'm wondering how I might be able to add an option to insert media from the WP media library.  I see 2 add ons for adding media (Embeds and Advanced Attachments), but neither mentions the option to add content from the media library.

I realize that my regular users won't have permissions for this, however, as the admin, I feel I should have this option.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks.

- Alan

Hi @alan-tutt,

You can Embed/Insert WordPress Media Library files using the file URL.

Go to Dashboard > Media > Library, open the needed file, copy the File URL, and paste it in the editor.

Thanks.

I just tried this with an audio file, and it just posts the link, not an audio player.  How can I get audio/video players in forum posts?

@alan-tutt,

You can reach that using wpForo advanced attachments,

Also, can test the plugin at wpForo Addons Demo Website.
